Tarneit electorate

Dylan WIGHT (Tarneit) (14:51): My question is to the Minister for Education. How are the Allan Labor government’s education initiatives helping to improve the lives of students and families in my electorate of Tarneit? Families right across the state have been benefiting from this government’s investments into education, and in Tarneit I have had the pleasure of seeing kids starting their days with a healthy breakfast supplied by Labor’s breakfast club program. I have seen students able to afford new uniforms that will fit them better as they grow, and they will be able to afford camps and excursions that otherwise would have been unattainable if it was not for Labor’s $400 school saving bonus. With two young kids myself, I know just how much of a difference that sort of money can make to the lives of local families. I am proud to be part of a government which is making the cost of living easier for our community while prioritising the health and education of our youngest Victorians. I look forward to the minister’s response.
